Scherhol, Mountain summit in Northern Vosges, France.

Scherhol is a 506 m summit in the Northern Vosges, just south of the Wieslauter on the GR 53 long-distance trail and west of Weißenburg. The wooded hilltop, reached by marked paths, still shows remains of a redoubt built in 1708 under Maréchal de Villars. A wooden signpost at the foot of the slope points to the summit (2.5 km) and to Château du Grand Schenkenburg.

In the late 1800s, the Vosges Club built viewing facilities on the summit to promote mountain hiking as a recreational activity. This project was part of a larger effort to develop tourism in the Vosges and make the mountains more accessible to visitors.

The summit is the endpoint of the Weissenburger Linien, fortification lines built under Maréchal de Villars; a redoubt was erected here in 1708 and its remains can still be seen. The GR 53 long-distance trail passes directly over the mountain, and the wooden signpost at the foot of the slope points to the Scherhol and to the Château du Grand Schenkenburg, both 2.5 km away.

The summit is reached on the GR 53 long-distance trail from Wissembourg, from the Col du Pigeonnier on the Wissembourg–Climbach road, where the Vosges Club keeps a refuge hut, or from Sankt Germanshof. The wooded slope carries signposts for the Sentier du Scherhol and the Circuit du Meyermuehle, both marked 2.5 km to the summit.

The summit was the end point of the Weißenburg Lines, and in 1708 Marshal de Villars had a redoubt built there; its remains can still be seen. In 1795 a station of the optical telegraph from Paris to Mainz was set up on the hill.
